Moses in the cradle (Tradescantia spathacea) is a popular houseplant that is native to Mexico, West Indies, Guatemala, and Central America. It has a sword-shaped leaf, dark green on the upper side and purple underside of the leaves, and unusual bracts that cradle small white flowers as they mature. Growing them as a houseplant is easy and doesn’t need much attention once established.
You can grow them both indoors and outdoors. When growing them indoors, plant them in a beautiful pot and place them in an area where there’s enough sunlight to thrive or on a console table where there is a big mirror hanging on the wall that gives additional beauty and freshness feeling to your space. Moses in the cradle loves a high-humidity environment.
This plant appreciates bright and indirect sunlight to thrive and well-drained soil. Allow the soil to dry before watering them and make sure there is an excellent draining hole in the pot to prevent soggy soil, which leads to root rot. Fertilizing them once a month from spring to summer using a water-soluble balanced fertilizer will help them boost their growth.
You can propagate them via division and stem cuttings. They are toxic to humans and pets, so make sure not to mingle with them. You can grow them in USDA Hardiness Zones 9a-11b.

Hello Bill, here’s the vendor’s email to you on April 3rd. Please see a copy of this on your email today. We’d like to help you out on this purchase. – Plantly Support
Hello,
–
Unfortunately, at the time of packing your order, we noticed our remaining [Mammillaria Wintera ] did not pass our quality check and despite our efforts, we couldn’t source more.
–
For the inconvenience, you can choose any other plant of similar value from our shop as a replacement, even if it costs slightly more. We’ll cover the difference, or if that option doesn’t suit you, we’ll promptly refund your order.
–
Please let us know your preference, and we’ll take swift action to ensure your satisfaction. If we get no response, we will refund that part of your order.
Not received. Plantly reached out and offered a replacement or refund.
I wish I could rate this one, but unfortunately I don’t have it yet.
Does not at all look like the picture. Not even hardly. It’s pathetic and sparse and droopy and I watered it and it’s still rather sad looking. Not really encouraging.
got plant and was soaking wet. Aerial roots were rotted off. New growth was dead while still in sheath.
Hello Kat Kay Pike,
Thank you for your honest feedback. It would have been wonderful if you’re able to provide pictures so that the vendor can review well. Have you contacted the vendor regarding this as well? Let us know how we can be of help.

I placed the order on May 18 and the items still have not shipped. Today is June 1. The vender created a shipping label to make it look like they shipped the order on the 18th of May. I emailed Plantly yesterday May 31st and haven’t heard back yet. I am unhappy with Plantly and will not order from them again.
Hello Travis,
We’d like to apologize for the late response on this issue. Upon further investigation, we have decided to refund you the full amount. Let us know if there are other concerns. – Your friends at Plantly
